Kendall goes into hospital in Boston on Tuesday morning for the laser operation to remove the cancer from his vocal chord. If all goes well it will be an overnight stay and we'll be back home on Wednesday. If they can't access the area by going down his throat it will mean a temporary tracheotomy and four to five day stay in hospital.

We would appreciate good thoughts from our friends on the Mudcat that this finally does the job and maybe gives him back a singing voice.

We'll keep you posted on progress.

There are just too many things going right for you for this operation not to go perfectly. My thoughts will be with you, pal.

Okay, Jacquai, jus' know that the Capt'n is in my thopughts and my prayers... He'll do fine...

The best of luck to both of you--but don't let him slip into that hospital gown until AFTER he votes!

(Kendall has given himself the best inoculation of good luck and endorphins beyond what we can send, what with falling in love and marrying.)

Jacqui thanks for posting this. As I was catching up on the Getaway thread (great photo of the two of you at your wedding) I found myself wondering about this. Both of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

What everybody else has said, Kendall.

Bright spirits and positive thoughts! That's the ticket.

I'll howl a special prayer to the big Dawg in the sky for you before going to bed tonight.

Jacqui,
Seeing Kendall at the Getaway looking so well and so happy I completely forgot about the surgery. NOMAD can wait another year. Will be thinking of you both as you celebrate they surgery success Tuesday night and hopefully the election of a new president.

My love to you both and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Gee, Kendall, I want this operation to work right and all, but I don't know if I can spend all Tuesday thinking smarmy good thoughts about you. Do you think it would help if we would all tell one bad joke in your honor on Tuesday?
Good luck with your surgery, Kendall. Take good care of him, Jacqui. We love him too, you know.

Amos said it for me as well. I needed to focus on something positive for Tuesday, and I can't think of anything better than the idea of the removal of two unwanted cancers amongst us. I've already voted, so you'll get the lion's share of my healing energy on the day.

DO PLEASE let us know how it goes.

Me too! I subscribe to all the good thoughts and wishes. Hope they don't have to go the tracheostomy route, had one myself last year, and although they're not painfull, they seem to take a while to heal up. Plus it means you've got to block the tube to speak, so all Jacqui needs to do to silence you, is tie your hands down, and although bondage can be fun, they frown on it in hospitals.

That damn Trickett isn't the only guy that gets to sing with you, y'know. I noticed that you and I sang nary the first song at Getaway, and I want to rectify that.

Prayers headed your way.

Hey, Jacqui. I had a friend who had a permanent stoma in his throat. His wife said it was TERRIFIC, 'cause he could kiss without stopping to breathe. She, on the other hand....

Kendall'l make it, with help like you and everyone.

I'll be in Portland (Oregon), but I'll be thinking of Some Dude in Boston.

I've had these knife-happy thugs down my throat earlier this year, and while it wasnt very nice I can assure you I am as right as rain. So will you be, Kendall.I have plenty of time to think good thoughts for you on Tuesday because I am pig-sick of the bloody American election.

I will join in the chorus - I am glad to have some positive thinking on the books for Tuesday to distract me from the polls. Now Jacqui - DO NOT allow him to turn on a TV until you are sure Kerry has won the election. Kendall will not be able to restrain a few grumbles or worse and he CAN NOT speak. Good luck, girl!

sselB doG, K & J. Let's have Curtains for the C word. And voices are individual things. Apparently Kendall's has been inspiring many to live and do right. That's a beautiful voice whatever it sounds like.

Greg S, is "pig-sick" anything like "sick as a dog"? If so, you get to a doc, too. All 'Catters need to be well.   Tw
